We had a great experience here. The drinks were excellent, and the coffee cake was amazing -- the perfect balance of sweetness without being overly sugary. What really blew me away, though, was the service. The woman helping us was fantastic. We actually assumed she was the owner because of how welcoming and invested she seemed, but she's just an employee who clearly loves her job and is lucky enough to work in such a beautiful place. That kind of genuine hospitality really stands out. If you're in the area, you absolutely have to stop by. read more

Whenever I go to a French bakery in the morning, I order a plain croissant which is a staple item for the French. I have often been disappointed and today was no exception. The croissant looked alright on the outside but this is were my positive appreciation stops. A croissant should be both crisp and flaky and this one failed miserably. As a Parisian, I know what I am talking about. Their pastries look really good, I might give it a try and hope to have a better experience. read more

If this review was just for the baguette, I would rate this a solid 4. The baguette has a great chew to it. For some, it might be too much of a chew, but it was purchased late in the day. It has a great tasting crust. It would be a solid 5 if it was $3-$4. But at $6, it's pretty steep for a baguette. Even for Dana Point. Second review is for their chocolate chip cookies. I would rate them a solid 1. They don't have a strong chocolate chip taste to them, even though they look to have a lot of chocolate chips in them. They remind of me store bought cookies. I know everyone has a preference - these are definitely not mine. And for the price and size, they are a little disappointing. Great bread. Not-so-great chocolate chip cookies. read more

I was craving something for breakfast that was savory and filling so I grabbed a piece of their Ham and Bacon Quiche to take home with me. Was it good? Oh, yes it was! Was it filling? Absolutely! This may be the best quiche that I have ever eaten. They gave me instructions on how to heat it up, and it came out perfect. The crust was flakey and the filling was 5/5 delicious. They certainly have a number of great looking items to try but I want another slice of the quiche. read more

They have an impressive selection of pastries with a variety of flavors. They have also sourdough bread, french, and other loaves. We tried the raisin croissant, pistachio croissant, baguette, and quiche, which were all good. Even when they weren't crispy by the time we purchased them, which were at the San Juan Capistrano farmers market where we found them on a Friday. read more

Went for a morning snack and found a gem! We ordered the kouign amann, raspberry fruit parfait and a coffee. Pastry was fresh, tasty, baked to perfection and high quality. Coffee was delicious. Fruit parfait was the best my wife has ever had. Service was slow as they appeared understaffed. But it was well worth it. Definitely repeat. read more

Tout ce que je peux dire, c'est WOW! I got there about 20 minutes after they opened. Lots to choose from! What do I want? I ordered a plain croissant, pan au chocolat, croissant à la pistache, et une touche de cannelle. Each one was delicious! Baked in that traditional way that is French! Flaky....buttery...sooooo good! I do suggest going early so you won't have to hassle with parking. There are spaces in front, but also parking in the back of The Row. The young woman was friendly for it being so early. They have some nice tables in front. Next time I will have to try the breads! Merci Le Saint Honore! read more

This is a small French bakery in an unexpected location (in an upscale strip mall next to a pizza shop). Their selection of baked goods is not extensive but what they have is gorgeous. Aside from sweet items like chocolate croissants and tarts, they also have quiches, beautiful loaves of bread, and baguettes. They also had fresh kefir cheese in a little refrigerator, if that grabs you. We only tried a Nutella croissant and it was very nice. It probably would have been better (and fresher) earlier in the day but it was still obviously high quality. Our coffee drinks were fine. I wouldn't call them extra special. Come here, and perhaps come early, for bread and other baked goods and treats. Seating inside and out, and plenty of free parking behind the building. read more

Le Saint Honore - Nutella croissant was good. - Bakeries Near Me - Dana Point, California

I found this place on Yelp and stopped by during a mini road trip to Escondido. Yay for a free parking lot. The food was plated beautifully! That being said, it didn't taste as good as it looked but was still good. I got the spinach quiche (which was served with baguette slices and a salad) and a croissant bateau (with swiss creme in the middle) and both were good but not amazing. Both were $21.28 (I think with a 15% tip included). They have some cute small tables inside and outside to sit at. The quiche was very creamy inside and has a soft cheese taste. I liked the crust and it was the right amount of salty but could have used a touch more flavor. The salad and baguette slices were fresh and tasty. I would have liked the salad in a bowl so the balsamic dressing didn't get on the quiche (those flavors didn't combine well). The pastries all looked so incredible it was hard to decide! I went with the recommended Croissant Bateau and it was good, not too sweet, but didn't taste that fresh. Like maybe it was made the day before or out for hours. I've had some amazing croissants in LA so my croissant standards are high now! Service was fine - not super friendly but not u friendly - if I was in the area I'd go back and try something else - there's plenty of other things that look great on the menu! read more

For such a small bakery, I really appreciate the variety and tartlets. They have a convenient parking lot behind the stores and are very close to the beach. We ordered the cappuccino and croissant sandwich. Their lunch servings are available for breakfast as well. The drink was served quickly and the breakfast/lunch was house made. Outdoor seating was nice with the marble tables. read more

Stopped in for a couple hot drinks before heading out to the pier. Location is on PCH and there is street parking right in front if you're lucky, as well as a small parking lot nearby. Employee was friendly; and the cafe was cute & inviting, with seating both inside and outside. They had a variety of both sweet and savory items, and it was difficult to choose as everything looked so tempting! I opted for a French vanilla latte and a spinach & feta croissant and my husband had the white mocha latte and a jalapeño cream cheese croissant. My latte was piping hot, not overly sweet and definitely perfect for this chilly evening. Both croissants were buttery, flaky and delicious. read more

Cute little French bakery by the beach off PCH in Dana Point. We stopped by early on a Sunday morning and had our pick of the goodies. I got the cinnamon twist and the pistachio croissant. So flaky, so yummy, ugh! I do wish the pistachio cream was a little more evenly distributed but it was still delish. The cinnamon twist was delightful as well, not quite as flaky but still yummy. And my husband loved his Nutella banana croissant. There were a few tables inside and a few on the patio to enjoy that early morning ocean breeze. We're not in Dana Point often so I don't know that I'll be back soon but would be worth trying again if I were! read more

Le Saint Honore is a hidden gem! Every bite tastes like it was made with love and the freshest ingredients--flaky pastries, soft breads, and irresistible sweets that melt in your mouth. The coffee is rich, aromatic, and perfectly brewed, making it the ideal pairing for any treat. Best of all, Manou's warm, attentive service makes every visit feel like coming home. A must-visit for anyone who appreciates quality and care in every detail. I was pleasantly surprised by a very special someone who took me to this bakery on my Birthday weekend. The ambiance is great and it is easy to have a conversation. Highly recommended! read more

Simping for baked goods. Le Saint Honore is the sweetest pastry shop in Dana Point. I was visiting Dana Point for a nearby wedding and wanted to pregrame with some pastries. My order consisted of their mushroom, leeks, and asparagus quiche, as well as a raspberry tart. Both items were delicious, but their tart surpassed my expectations. It was the perfect mix of crust to dough. The raspberry was also so ripe and tasty. This eatery offers a number of seats for inside dinners, as well as a small patio along PCH. Since we visited later in the day, the kitchen was closed and they were out of a number of their bestsellers. Highly recommend starting off your day here instead! read more

Stopped in to pick up some pastries and picked up a couple of fruit tarts ($8 each). The tarts were lovely, filled with custard and topped with sweet juicy fruit. Best of all, they were not too sweet!. Look forward to returning and trying their croissants and quiche! read more

The best place for pastries and quick breakfast in Dana Point! Not only do they have a huge selection of sweet baked goods, they also have amazing savory options. My friend and I ordered a chocolate almond croissant and a ham + cheese quiche which were both perfect. Our server Basil was so lovely!! He asked if we wanted our pastry and quiche split in half- which was so helpful and appreciated. He also checked in on us later. He alone made us decide that Le Saint Honore is our new fave spot! Highly recommend trying here for a cute place to catch up with friends and eat good food :) read more

Cute small French bakery with all the standards including baguettes, loafs, quiches and omelets. I ordered a spinach quiche from the display case and 10 minutes later it was delivered to me hot on a real plate with a fresh side salad and bread slices. I had to deduct one star for too much salt (hard to get salt perfect in a quiche) and the crust seemed more like croissant pastry than a short crust normally used for a heavy quiche like this. I will return to try their other items. The baguette I bought was perfect! read more

Le Saint Honore - Spinach quiche - Bakeries Near Me - Dana Point, California

This is a wonderful place. I am so happy to see it doing so well. There is so much to be excited about here. I came here for the almond croissant - perfectly flaky and loved the almond filling. Another time I visited and got the asparagus and mushroom quiche. I had heard about the spinach version on Tik Tok and had to give it a try. It lived up fully to my expectations. I loved everything about it. I have also been here for the coffee and it is delicious. They use Illy coffee so it feels like you're in France. My only critique is that they only had one server working. I understand it is a small space and it's not always busy but when there is a line it can be a little bit of a wait. Stellar service though! I saw someone order one of the sandwiches and it looked A grade. read more

This little French cafe and bakery is a gem. Definitely will come back for their breakfast and a perfect breakfast or lunch spot to bring guests when in town. My husband and I enjoyed the Mushroom Quiche and Pistachio Tart! The Quiche came with a side of greens, French bread, and olive oil. Such perfect combination. The Pistachio Tart was nicely made. Not the kind of creamy or fudge texture. It was soft and moist. The display around the cafe is simple and comfortable. However they were nearly out of croissants when we got there at lunchtime. But they have a wall of good breads for sale. The menu has a variety of options from coffees, savory and sweet foods. There are additional seating available in front of the restaurant. The service is friendly and accommodating. read more

An awesome culinary experience! I ordered a variety of dishes and all of theme brought a smile to my face. I started with a croissant filled with custard and berries. The croissant was moist and the custard had excelled flavor. There were plenty of berries to go around, which allowed for great balance in every bite! The banana Nutella crepe came next, and I had never received a crepe cut into squares, but it was a nice touch, allowing me to share with everyone at the table! I finished my meal with the croque madame and it was loaded with gruyere cheese and ham. The bread had a nice crunch to it and was paired with a great dollop of fruit. I washed it all down with a French vanilla lemonade, which provided a soft sweet element to the normally tart beverage. I was extra appreciative of the staff member who pulled another table over to make sure all of our food fit comfortably for us! I look forward to visiting again! read more

I was expecting a bit more given all the good reviews, but I wasn't really overly impressed. Service was good and friendly and there is a nice vibe inside with French tunes playing. There is some nice seating on the patio looking out on PCH. Croissant-kind of meh. I would have expected a more crispy, infinitely layered and flaky croissant like you might find in Paris, but such was not the case. This croissant was serviceable, but I can't say a whole lot more beyond that. The kougin anan was sweet, flaky, and chewy all at the same time, like it should be, but it wasn't anything out of this world. I would like to go back to try their quiche and omelettes, but I'm not rushing. You're only as good as your last meal. read more

The croissants are amazing.. flaky and buttery.. reminds of bakery in Paris. A little bit on the pricey side.

I came in for baked pastries but now planning on returning to try the quiche and refrigerated desserts. Pistachio latte- Lilly espresso, milk of choice and pistachio syrup was basic but yummy. Pistachio twist- flaky pastry with yummy pistachio filling and pistachio crumbs balanced perfectly with latte. Sweet and filling. I ate half. Loved the decor and fresh peony flowers. read more
